Love Sells Nirvana's Music

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Courtney Love, the rock singer and widow of Kurt Cobain, has sold 25 percent of Nirvana's music library to Primary Wave Music Publishing. Though their entire catalog does not have an exact monetary value, Courtney reportedly banked $50 million for the sale of the rights. Love has closely guarded the rights to the 98% of the band's library since she inherited it upon the death of her husband, the Nirvana front man, in 1994. His former band-mates own a mere 2% of the collection, including some of the band's most famous works, like Smells like Teen Spirit.

In and out of rehab, as well as prison, for the past several years, it is likely that she decided to sell this share of Nirvana's music to cover some of her legal costs, since her money problems are well known, though she said she found managing her entire estate "overwhelming."

Courtney Love Real Estate Update

Filed under: Estates

A California mortgage company now owns the Washington bungalow that once belonged to Courtney Love. Love bought the home in the late 1990s and until recently Kurt Cobain's sister lived in the house. Love owed $386,000 on the home and could have stopped the auction by paying up. There were no bids on the house and so the home remains as the property of a Los Angeles mortgage company.

Courtney Love Home Headed For Foreclosure

Filed under: Estates

More real estate trouble for the recently rehabbed Courtney Love, a historic Washington home she bought around eight years ago is up for public auction to satisfy debts in a foreclosure case. Love purchased the bungalow for Kurt Cobain's family in 1997 and now owes about $367,000 including the loan balance and legal fees. The house sits on 13 acres and according to sheriff's records, Cobain's sister currently lives there. Love hasn't paid on the house since 2003. Guess those rumors that Courtney is about to sell the rights to Nirvana's music might not be so far off after all.
